How to Celebrate the Lunar New Year






The Lunar New Year, which typically takes place in late winter or early spring, is one of the most important holidays in many parts of the world, especially throughout East Asia. In 2020, people all over the globe will participate in the celebrations from January 25th to February 8th. And while every culture has its own way of celebrating this festive season, most Lunar New Year festivities have a few key things in common, such as eating amazing food, spending time with your family and friends, cleaning the house, and performing other rituals to welcome good fortune into your home. You can also mark the season by wearing festive clothes and decorating your home with traditional symbols, such as lanterns, flowers, and oranges.



Clean your home before the new year to “sweep away” bad luck. Before the start of the new year, take a few days to thoroughly clean out your home. Attend to cleaning chores you might neglect on a day-to-day basis, like washing the windows, sweeping under and behind large pieces of furniture, and touching up old paint. These cleaning rituals are thought to help drive out misfortune and help you start fresh for the new year.


Decorate your home with red lanterns. Red lanterns are a traditional symbol of the Lunar New Year. Buy some beautiful red paper lanterns to hang up in your home, or celebrate by making your own!
  • Some people write wishes on their lanterns in the hopes of helping their dreams for the new year come true.

Fill your home with colorful flowers. Flowers are a wonderful way to brighten up your home and symbolize rebirth and renewal for the new year. Purchase some fresh-cut flowers, potted plants, or even a tiny peach or orange tree, and set them around the home to give it a festive look.
  • Different flowers have different meanings for what they'll bring into the new year. For example, narcissus flowers bring good luck and prosperity, gladiolas are for good luck in careers, and chrysanthemums symbolize longevity and wealth.
